Same results - nothing special without Brady. Chasing ghosts of the past is a really terrifying path if that is the choice. Following the Patriots "Way" has been pretty much a total failure outside of NE.
One thing the Patriots do that IS a good idea is to ignore common views of players and instead value fit of players.
5 - They said they want me not we guys. Have not signed any stars and are actively getting rid the Cardinals most talented players which indicates they do not value them as highly.
I get that saying, but at some point, someone has to be the smartest guy/gal in the room, which if they are, then every room would eventually be empty before anything begins!
This assumes he has the budget and the permission from Bidwill to do so. All indications is that this is a lean year because Bidwill is eating the contracts of Kliff/Keim.
Still not sure how this is a bad thing. Would we want the alternative?
See first response.
See second response.
This I would agree with.
I don't think it is completely controversial, but I do think it is full with conjecture.
I do think they have very specific plans.
All that we do on here is full of conjecture. I shared that these items seem to be true and tried to stay away from them being good or bad.
Except you said it was true, not that it was conjecture.
Does that mean you believe all indications are that we’re looking at four more lean years because last I checked, Kliff/Keim contracts are wiped off the books this year. No professional sports team should just fold up their tents for five years or even ONE year because of two contracts they got wrong… that aren’t even that big in the grand scheme of things.
Yes. I think we are likely looking at 10 more lean years with a couple better years sprinkled way. It's the Cardinals way.
Not a priority
Confident and not knowing what you're doing is a very bad thing. Confident while taking a measured approach with said confidence is preferable. My problem is, with a lot of questionable moves and half-measures, I'm not feeling like it's the latter.
I'd feel a lot more confident with a few three year deals for young, hungry players. Players who are likely to outperform their contract, or at least won't hurt the cap a year or two from now if they don't work out.
I don't think we're going to see those. Do you?
Not right now, no.
